miskasowin askihk – finding oneself on the land

We are co-teachers of a high school land-based education program in Regina, SK called miskasowin askihk – finding oneself on the land. We have students for 4 hours a day, and teach them 5 credits including Cree, Indigenous Studies, Environmental Science, Wildlife and Habitat Studies, and Physical Education. We take students on one overnight trip each month and many day trips. The program focuses on two-eyed seeing – integrating Indigenous worldviews with western science. We have taught the program for 1.5 years and have learned many lessons. We will take you through an interactive experience about how we design our curriculum to learn from the land. Maybe you will learn something about yourself on the way!
